Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Method of Using Human Body Near-Field Communication to Determine Consent for Photo Capture and Approval to Persist

Abstract

Disclosed is a method and system for a body-area network that uses the human body as a communication path, as the human body generates an electric-field signal that transmits data, between a photographer and the subjects of the photograph. The communication path provides the photographer with knowledge of whether the human subjects provide consent to be photographed and have the image persisted to storage.

Method of Using Human Body Near -Field Communication to Determine Consent for
Photo Capture and Approval to Persist

The human body can be used as a communication path within a body-area network.
One application is to identify for a photographer individuals that provide consent for
image capture.

The novel contribution is a body-area network that uses the human body as a
communication path. Using a transmitter and a receiver, the system generates a signal
in an electronic device and the signal travels through the human body to give a
command to another device. The human body generates an electric-field signal that
travels through human body and accordingly transmits data. This data transmission
does not require power consumption, whereas other data communication methods and
systems (e.g., Bluetooth*, infrared, etc.) require power.

Specifically, this solution applies to photography; the communication path provides the
photographer with knowledge of whether the human subjects provide consent to be
photographed. The method and system use near-field body communication,
established with the photographer and subject(s), as well as an access control list, to
determine that all individuals permit photograph (photo) or video capture. The system
also validates this before persisting the image file to storage.

The method uses a physical touch connection between photo participants and the
photographer to establish a human body near-field trusted communication path. This
enables photo validation by each participant in which participants can identify
themselves in collaboration with camera facial recognition and fingerprint validation.
The photographer can then capture an image during a defined period. In addition, the
system alerts registered users on an associated mobile device in photo mode and
session duration.
